that one has built in headphone amp right??

Seems quite value for money, until you ship it here and convert the costs lol

I feel that almost all the audioengine products are like that.

Quite good for the price if buy from US. But bring to SG liao, i think there are other more value options

As in I just realised they sold the smaller version for the normal Hifimediy I think last time dun have,just introduced not long.

Haven order yet. Have to get rid of my soundcard first..

Not sure how the small one fares.. Will be interesting as the specs seems more or less the same

I'm using that on my Mac to drive the Momentum and ESW9.
Quite good to drive easy load headphone, but doubt it has the power to drive heavy load phone like LCD or Hifiman
It's selling for $240 at CD Accoustic, Adelphi.

If you don't need the DAC, I think iFi iCan at $330 will be a better option as I'm sure you don't need to change it if you ever upgrade from M50 to more atas phone

Would you consider it a value buy at $240??

Cause alot of the reviews I read says its quite a god value buy but it's at $169usd and I guess at $170 usd, I think it's quite worth if its as good as they say

At US$170, it is a good buy, but at S$240, I would rather get the iCan at $330, albeit without DAC as the DAC in D1 can only do 16/44 IIRC.
Just my 2 cent.
